The Constitutional Rights of the UnbornThe supreme law of the land is the Constitution, and our Founding Fathers provide incontrovertible insight as to their understanding of the unalienable right to life.

[Dr. Lieberman wasn’t expecting that question (she was, after all, the interviewer, not the interviewee) but she answered it by citing the fact that a baby’s heartbeat, first detectable at about five weeks, is the primary delimiter between a living human embryo and a living human baby. The SLED test , for those who haven’t heard of it (mostly conservative ignoramuses), confirms Dr. Lieberman’s opinions.]

“When the human-but-not-a-person challenge is put to me, I always ask ‘What’s the difference?’ Usually I’m answered with silence because the person has never pondered the question. This is odd considering they have essentially divided humanity into two camps: human persons and human non-persons. The first has the strongest protection under law; the second can be killed with impunity.“

“… the pro-choice worldview’s logical conclusion is there for all to see: In order to maintain the supreme good of a woman’s choice, pro-choicers must always and everywhere deny the humanity of the unborn child. Even when their own eyes tell them otherwise.“

“According to a spokesperson for the American Psychological Association, the APA’s pro-choice position, first adopted in 1969, is based on a civil rights view, not on scientific proof of any mental health benefits arising from abortion.“

“… those like Peter Singer who do not grant humans any special status will not be moved by [any argument claiming that human beings are ontologically incomparable and inherently valuable]. We cannot help [those who hold that belief, nor do they think they need any]. Many true and justified beliefs (concerning human beings and other matters) are denied by otherwise intelligent people.“

“Two ‘ethicists’… argue… that if abortion of a fetus is allowable, so to should be the termination of a newborn… they prefer the term ‘after-birth abortion’ as opposed to ‘infanticide”… [b]ecause it ‘[emphasizes] that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus.. rather than to that of a child.’”

[ASND, once again, simply asks, “Why? Why should this man be tried for murder for doing exactly what over 50 million U.S. women have done perfectly legally for the last four decades? Why the double standard?”]

and…

“A young mother… told police she hid her pregnancy, gave birth to twin sons at her family’s home and killed the infants by smothering their cries so her parents wouldn’t hear them.“

[WHAT!? That is an OUTRAGE ! If that useless mass of cells had been killed by its own mother, no one (at least no liberals) would have batted an eye. But let a mankill an unborn child and all of a sudden everyone and his (conservative) brother calls abortion a crime.]

[Once again, ASND simply asks, “Why?” If unborn children aren’t really children, what’s the big deal? Why be so afraid of hearing heartbeats if ‘everyone knows’ that those heartbeats aren’t from living human beings?]

[For those who don’t know, the Gurttmacher Institute — which produced this repoort — is the “research” organ of Planned Parenthood. Even they are willing to admit that no more than 1% of intra-uterine murders in this country are committed against unborn children of rapists.]

“As many as 95 percent of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome in this country are aborted. But according to a recent survey conducted by Children’s Hospital in Boston and reported by MSNBC, 99 percent of adults with the disorder say they are ‘happy with their lives,’ and almost as many say they like who they are and how they look… Among 2,044 parents or guardians surveyed, 79 percent reported their outlook on life was more positive because of their child with Down syndrome…”

“This push toward abortion as a form of ‘mercy-killing’ reminds me of African mothers who killed their children so they wouldn’t have to endure the torment of enslavement. Slavery was atrocious, but can you imagine the loss if Fredrick Douglas’s or Harriet Tubman’s mother had chosen to ‘spare’ her child from the agony of life? Their endurance through suffering is what inspires us all.”

“…pro-contraception sex education advocates were quick to claim these CDC figures were proof that contraception based sex education is working. However, while the birth rate has fallen, it must be made clear that the CDC is looking at the birth rate and not the pregnancy rate in teens. Alarmingly, as the birthrate has fallen in teens ages 15-19…, the abortion rate has increased…”

“Mejia and Santana’s ‘concept of existence’ involves a sliding scale of humanity’s worth: those whom they define as ‘normal’ are more valuable and worthy of life than those who aren’t. They are merely ‘defining the meaning of human existence’ to be predicated upon what an individual can do for society.”

“An obstetrician-gynecologist confirmed on Monday Rick Santorum’s claim that amniocentesis, a type of prenatal test used to detect Down syndrome, most often leads to aborting the fetus if the genetic disorder is detected.”

[Mr. Santorum was also recently challenged – again by people who should have known better – regarding hisaccurate description of Dutch euthanasia laws.]

War on Women?:

“At the expense of the Republican party who want to take away women’s autonomy over their bodies, the comedienne paired potty humour with political commentary, using the montage to make a strong and simple point about the ongoing War on Women.“

[A Commenter on that article said, “I am pro-choice but she is disgusting.” ASND wonders, “Why? Why is Ms. Silverman ‘disgusting’for pretending to do something that is essentially no different [in the minds of “pro-choicers”] than cutting her own hair or trimming her own fingernails? What is so ‘disgusting’about that?”]

“The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a second edition of… [a] new document detail[ing] various methods of killing unborn children and the very best way, as recommended by WHO, to kill them.“
